FORT WORTH — Two
female art students at Texas
Christian University are headed
for the big time in art photogra
phy, releasing this week a calen
dar of 12 male students attend
ing the mostly-female school.
The all-male calendar is the
innovation of junior art student
Sharon Jones and art graduate
student Micki Muhlbauer. Since
the concept was disclosed in the
student newspaper, the project
has drawn a lot of attention —
not all of it welcomed by the
women.
“Most of the reaction has
been either one way or the
other,” said Jones. “People say
they either really like the idea or
they don’t like it at all.”
She said the school adminis
tration already said it wanted to
see the calendar before it was
sold on campus.
“We told them there was no
thing in it to embarrass the
school. But they want to see it
before they’ll allow us to sell it,”
Jones said.
The women hope the calen
dar, which will be priced at
$6.95, will go on sale later this
week.
Women students were called
upon to nominate the “best
hunks” on the 6,000 student
campus, where women out
number men three to one. The
12 finalists were chosen by five
Fort Worth businesswomen who
had no idea who the men were
— thus eliminating campus
popularity as a factor in the final
decision and basing the choice
on looks alone.
Nevertheless, a couple of the
finalists were football players —
including all-American wide re
ceiver Stanley Washington.
Jones, 23, said there is no
nudity in the calendar — just a
lot of open shirts and suggestive
poses.
“Provacative is a good word
for it,” she said. “A few of them
don’t have shirts on, and some of
their shirts are open. One is
wearing a tux.”
Jones said she and Mulh-
bauer, 31, had no problem get
ting the men to pose.
“A couple weren’t sure at first
but we told them they didn’t
have to take their clothes off,”
she said. “Most of them were
pretty agreeable.
“We even had a couple of men
come and ask how they could be
in it.”

SAN ANTONIO — Accused
litman Charles Harrelson Mon
day recounted his life story for a
federal jury but entirely skipped
1979, the year U.S. District
udge John H. Wood Jr. was
killed.
Instead, the accused killer of
the judge dwelt on his two
^ arrests in 1980, claiming he was
framed on one and threatened
ith death by federal agents on
he other.
Harrelson was arrested Sept.
1,1980, east of Van Horn when
he tried to shoot the muffler of
hiscar in a cocaine stupor. When
he was arrested on a weapons
charge earlier that year in Hous
ton, Harrelson said a gun was
planted in his car.
Harrelson, 44, is accused of
lling Wood for a $250,000
payoff from Jimmy Chagra, a
Las Vegas gambler who was to
be tried in Wood’s court for
drug smuggling.
Witnesses have said Chagra
was convinced he could not get a
lir trial from Wood and prob
ably would be sentenced to life
in prison without parole — the
maximum sentence from a
judge nicknamed “Maximum
ohn.”
Also on trial are Chagra’s
wife Elizabeth, accused of
agreeing to the slaying and de
livering the payoff money to
Harrelson’s stepdaughter, and
Harrelson’s wife, Jo Ann. Mrs.
Harrelson, who already has
been convicted of using a false
name to buy the Weatherby
Mark V rifle believed to hive
killed Wood, is charged with ob
struction of justice.
refn
“I remember thinking some
incendiary device had been
fixed under the car (in the Van
Horn arrest),” he said. “I
thought I was going to be killed.
I was somewhat messed up (on
cocaine). In my demented con
dition, I tried to shoot the muf
fler off.”
The bullet ricocheted and
flattened a tire, leaving Harrel
son stranded in the desert. Har
relson said the FBI or federal
drug agents were only a few
hundred yards away watching
him.
Harrelson said he thought
they were following him and
were trying to kill him. He said
he held a gun under his chin and
demanded that someone he
knew be present to see him
arrested.
The arresting officials sum
moned Virginia Farrah of El
Paso, who had employed Har
relson as a bodyguard during
the summer of 1980.
“I wanted to have someone
there who knew me and could
attest that I was in one piece
when I was arrested,” Harrelson
said.
Harrelson had been arrested
in February 1980 on a weapons
charge in Houston. He said he
was convinced at the time that
someone had planted the gun in
his car, but that he did not know
until rancher Hampton Robin
son testified at his trial that he
had turned Harrelson in to
police.
Harrelson said he also sus
pected his boyhood friend Greg
Goodrum in the alleged
frameup and forced a confes
sion from Goodrum at the point
of a gun.
Harrelson was expected to be
on the stand for several days. He
has not yet mentioned the death
of Wood, who was shot to death
in the parking lot of his apart
ment complex on May 29, 1979.
The only thing he said about
1979 was that he married Jo
Ann Harrelson on Jan. 7 and
went with her to Mexico City in
February.
Harrelson has maintained he
was asleep at his Dallas apart
ment when Wood was killed 275
miles away in San Antonio.
Three defense witnesses have
already testified they saw Har
relson in Dallas later that
morning.
During the first five weeks of
the trial, 83 witnesses testified
for the prosecution.
One of the witnesses, El Paso
lawyer Joe Chagra, said Harrel
son not only confessed to him
that he had killed Wood but also
said he had killed President
John F. Kennedy in Dallas 19
years ago.
The 100-seat courtroom in
the federal courthouse named
for Wood was packed most of
last week by spectators awaiting
Harrelson’s testimony. When
Harrelson finally took the stand,
he only had time to give a brief
autobiography before court re
cessed for the weekend.
Harrelson’s testimony Friday
stopped with his conviction in
1973 in the slaying of a Hearne
grain dealer. He was accused of
killing Sam Degelia Jr. for
$2,000 and served 10 years in
prison.

DALLAS — An 85-acre city
landfill, used as a dump for in
dustrial wastes more than a de
cade ago and since closed, may
have contaminated ground wa
ter and the underlying aquifer.
A consulting firm was hired
and recently drilled five moni
toring wells in and around the
landfill, which was closed in
1975, to determine whether
ground water has been polluted.
The 85-acre site, along the
Trinity River, opened in 1957
and was used to dispose solid
waste. In 1967, however, the city
allowed the disposal of more

MOUNT PLEASANT — A
bomb threat made by a tele

evacuation of employees at the
Interfirst Bank and the facility
was closed for two hours, police
said.
No one was injured in the
incident. Authorities refused to
say whether the money deman

“There indeed was a bomb
threat and an extortion attempt
was made. Nothing has de
veloped so far. It is still under

PORT NECHES — BF
Goodrich has closed its synthetic
rubber plant for one week, offi
cials said.
A company spokesman said
Sunday the sluggish economy
has reduced the demand for
synthetic rubber made at the
plant. About 400 members of six
unions have been on strike at the
plant since April, but a team of
supervisors have been running
the facility.
The plant will reopen Satur
day. Last June the plant closed
for nine days and in September,
it was closed for a week.
HOUSTON — The season of
sneezing, coughing and fevers
has made its annual return, and
doctors at Baylor College of
Medicine are advising those
people seeking relief with over-
the-counter remedies to first
read the labels.
“Many concoctions that con
tain three or more drugs will
probably have something un
necessary in them,” said Dr.
Robert Couch, director of
Baylor Influenza Center. “And
the more drugs you take, the
more likely you are to have reac
tions to one of them.”
Couch said ingredients are
listed on the packages of over-
the-counter medications, and
many combinations of ingre
dients treat a number of sym-
toms. However, he urged, re
member more is not better.
